^ Yeah, everything I wanted was sold out but the unpainted monsters. After I ordered one I went back and it said "sold out." They made a ton of those Ojis. A lot more variations than I expected. Lots of crazy cool stuff!
I think all of the Luke/Ricky mash-ups are cool. They remind me of "The Thing" and "Resident Evil 4" among other things. I like seeing Grody toys mashed w/other non-Grody things. Sometimes it works really well. I'd love to see a Kumon head on a Monster body and vice versa.
Really? WTF? That's some BS for sure. Maybe it's insured and all? I get pissed at $10 shipping to be honest. Fucking economy!
I know, but that thing was just too weird to pass, maybe I should have chose in store pick up and called in some favors to have someone in LA grab it and ship for me.
I thought these looked really cool and different in person, no one seems to be going for them though.
2 grody monsters 80 dollar order turned out to be with shipping to NYC 96$ plus............. Holly crap!!!!! Shipping on 2 grodys NOT MORE THAN 8$ at most
Price for priority mail was a shock but I was expecting a bit of a gallery markup anyway so I can live with spending an extra $10. I like how those pink/blue beach glass looked so I am happy to have secured one. The bodies really look like marbled vinyl...
Look at it this way. If the toys were 7 to 10 dollars more and shipping was normal price. Would you buy it?
Oh moan moan I FART A LOT I FART A LOT. You do realise that most stores south of the border charge us a minimum of 20$ in shipping for anything? I.e. even one measly pocket? Kudos to Rotofugi for being the only ones that don't.
I passed due to high shipping as well. Priority for 1 toy was $16.95 within the U.S.! Would've liked the super gloss unpaint but not with that shipping price.
Well, This isn't Lulu. With the gallery setting of these releases there wasn't much of a mark up at all. At first I was shocked at the shipping. If you ordered some exclusives you should be happy that you were able to get any at all. The shipping isn't that bad. I paid $15.00 just to have MISHKA send me a M.U.S.C.L.E. keychain. That was $5. more than the keychain cost. I am just happy to support TAG and the artists.
^^^this. I grew up seeing commercials with fine print stating "prices slightly higher in Manhattan". I am sure LA is the same. Your Infested Monster #69 is not coming in a padded envelope.
Mishka's shipping is ridiclous as well. I agree..I No problem supporting a gallery on the show pieces with the show prices..... Shipping should be actual or close to.... Just sayin
I hear you, but if you are arguing with yourself about paying $70 for a toy you would gladly pay $60 for... the price difference is negligible, all things considered. these are event pieces and the secondary market is not going to be as nice as retail +$10 should you miss the opportunity. that being said, I will not be getting a Monster Babby for Valentine's day =P
